    Shortcut lnk -- Access is denied


    I need your help with this shortcut link that I try to correct but I didn't. What I did is to right-click the desktop shortcut link of Microsoft Train Simulator (outdated but still can run the game) to Properties of this link. Then I change the line in Target box to add " train.exe -mem:1024 " from " launcher.exe " At last I clicked " Apply " to the changes on the bottom of the shortcut link Properties and get the message below:

    Shortcut

    /!\ Unable to save changes to 'Train Simulator.lnk'.

    Access is denied.

    I did the search online through Google Search and came up with so many helpful information about this but not sure which one is the right information to fix the shortcut link.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    My operating system is Windows 10 Professional 64-bit version and ver. 1909.

    Thank you,

    John

    This guide is about as clear as it gets:
    How to create shortcuts with parameters in Windows 10 | Digital Citizen

    N.B. you need to be confident in the path to the program, appropriate use of double quotes, and that the parameters are valid.

    You should be able to confirm this if you were to try launching the program with the desired params from a command prompt.
